BrawnySpirit2000 33 May 17, 2015 Share May 17, 2015 I don't really miss it. Heck, I still use it almost everyday! Most of the computers in my school district haven't been upgraded yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunarWave 106 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 (edited) Not a single bit. Well, aside from running some old things in virtual machine once in a long while. I actually regard Win8 as old and outdated. Windows 10, living on the blunt side (Slow update circle) of the bleeding edge.

Guest May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 No. Windows XP is an outdated piece of shit. It was good in 2001, but it's 2015. It lacks too many modern security, hardware and software optmization features to make it truly viable in today's world. This. But my nostalgic side of me misses it. I still use Win 7 and I love it.

Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 My previous computer ran XP, and transitioning was awkward at first. But now I'm more or less used to Windows 8 on my current computer.

Trickilee 139 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 (edited) I miss the GUI mostly. There is too much stuff you don't need in 8. Hopefully 10 will correct some of that.

Trickilee 139 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 Dont get your hopes up. Voice controls built-in, bing search from the start menu... :comeatus: They sound disableable. My biggest problem with 8 was that the most annoying parts couldn't be turned off. Now that Metro will be more optional than before, I think I can hammer 10 into something half decent.

InactiveHooves 256 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 I do miss the simplified start menu and the Luna theme (yes. That was the name) wasn't too bad. Personally I like windows 7 a lit better. It feels simpler and more "light weight" an it's easier to use, for me. Just call me Nori. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa 5,553 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 Not in the slightest. It was an extremely ugly OS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightfall Gloam 18,260 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 I do miss Windows XP, since I was a kind when it was new and cool, had a bunch of computers through the years with it installed until 2008, when my family started replacing the old desktop(s) we had with 1 laptop for each of us. I was unlucky and ended up with Windows Vista for about 3 years. I also do have a lot of fond memories of the OS, from gaming to school work to the internet back then, and I occasionally revisit XP through the use of Virtual Machines. But I will admit, as much as I miss XP and as much as it clearly has a special place in me for being a part of my childhood, I wouldn't put it on a dedicated laptop and try to regularly use it today, its security is too out of date, can be slow at times and Microsoft no longer supports it. In other words, its nostalgic to me, but I'm not letting my nostalgia blind me from its flaws. 1 Aspiring animator/illustrator, founder of MLPF's Lighthoof and Shimmy Shake fan club!

NotoriousSMALL 1,984 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 I only miss windows vista for purely nostalgic reasons. That was my shizzle back in 2011-2012. RIP that computer, it didn't go out peacefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phosphor 11,529 January 14, 2019 Share January 14, 2019 Actually, I do. Windows XP is amazing with older scientific instruments, especially if such equipment utilizes parallel ports. Just keep the system off the internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here No Longer 5,276 January 14, 2019 Share January 14, 2019 I kind of do. Windows XP was actually a rather nice OS for the time. Sure, I'd rather have my Windows 7 computer now due to XP not running certain things, plus Microsoft and the d***s they are basically ABANDON operating systems they consider to be too old. Now that they're doing that with Windows 7, I think my next computer's going to be Apple because I can't stand Windows any more. Windows 10 is a horrible piece of s***, and it's quite saddening they're almost FORCING people into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CypherHoof 26,483 January 14, 2019 Share January 14, 2019 I always saw XP as just Windows 2000 done up in crayon. Win7 by contrast was a great improvement (xp 64 bit wasn't very good, and we don't discuss vista or windows ME in polite company) ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash In 22,318 February 3, 2019 Share February 3, 2019 (edited) I grew up with Windows XP, so naturally I have a lot of nostalgia towards it. Yeah, it's inferior to everything that came after it, but the memories make miss the simpler times.
